Synopsis:
After defeating Biolord in mid-air combat, Blackhawk falls to his apparent death. Olaf goes after him and catches him on the way down. Olaf then saves Blackhawk's life. After they land safely, an eskimo in a skull mask attacks them. They defeat him before heading to the hospital.

At the hospital Blackhawk and the other members of the team receive medical attention. Blackhawk recognizes another patient as Nazi war criminal Von Gross. He chases the Nazi who uses a flying wheelchair to escape. Blackhawk tracks down Von Gross who has a flying skull ship hidden in the clouds. After a fierce battle, Blackhawk disables the skull ship and jumps out before it crashes.

Blackhawk lands in the sea, but he quickly sights land. When he swims ashore he is confronted by the War Wheel.
